Turkey condemns French minister’s remarks on Armenian allegations

Turkish Foreign Ministry strongly condemned Peillon’s remarks

ANKARA – Turkish Foreign Ministry on Friday rejected remarks by French
Education Minister Vincent Peillon’s remarks he made during a rally in
Paris on Wednesday.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it strongly
condemned Peillon’s remarks which affirmed Armenian allegations over
the incidents of 1915 in the Ottoman Empire.

“It is even more unfortunate that such remarks which unfairly
denigrates our history and foments hatred were made by a government
member responsible for education,” the statement said.
